Item Networking for development research and traning : the paid experience(1989) C.mondjanagni, AifrxdThis paper is a contribution to the exchange of experience on networking in development research and training. An approach to international cooperation between institutes through networking cannot be understood unless the potential actors are identified.Who eventually work together and unless there is an analysis of the existing institutional mechanisms. This process however should not take us too far away from our subject which is development research and training.Item Networking experiences for women's development(1989)The concept of networking started with the united nations dead for women in Nepal.During this decade many multi sect oral efforts to integrate women's concerns in the overall national development process took place.

The purpose of this paper is to present the highlights of that experience in the context of some of the major research programmes.However it should be noted that the distinction being drawn between research and training activities of the center is somewhat a forced one, since of necessity networking in research would invole diverse forms of training that is directly derived from the research work.Item APCD experiences in networking with development training networks(1989) Bakri Shabdin, AhmadIn 1984 in planing for its work programme for 1985-1986 the Asian-pacific development center decided up on networking as its basic approach to project implementation.The success of its networking activities in the execution of the 1985-86 work programme provide APDC the necessary impetus to enhance its networking methodology in the execution of its current work programme for the period 1987-1989Item Network experience in development research: a case of CEDA(1989) B. Gurung, SantThe centre for economic development and administration (CEDA) is a pioneering institution in Nepal in the field of development research. Since its establishment in 1969, under the tripartite agreement between his majesty's government of Nepal Tribhuvan university and the ford foundation it has been contributing to the policy makers through its research and consultancy works and of course through training activities.Now there has been a great proliferation in these activities and consequently there is a proliferation of similar institutions both in public and privet sector.

Most of them are state financed centers and institutes only a few rely exclusively on their own private resources.
